Guarana is derived from the seeds of Paullinia cupana, a sacred wild climbing shrub in the Amazon, historically revered by indigenous communities for its various benefits. Amazonian Indians considered its fruits an ‘elixir of life,’ known for aphrodisiac properties, malaria protection, pain relief, and easing menstrual discomfort. Guarani Indians utilized it to enhance strength and endurance during hunting.

Guarana seeds contain guaranine, akin to caffeine, stimulating adrenaline and noradrenaline release. Introduced to Europe in the 19th century, it gained popularity in France as a tonic-stimulant. Guarana’s caffeine concentration (3-8%) exceeds that in coffee beans (around 2%), delivering prolonged, gradual energy effects without peaks.

Guarana contains additional bioactive compounds like tannins, saponins, and polyphenols, providing potential tonic, analgesic, aphrodisiac, astringent, cardiotonic, diuretic, gastro-stimulant, and antimicrobial activities. Its thermogenic qualities make it a common modern dietary supplement.
